Linux Dinner
Well, so far I received 8 messages from people who wish to attend the Linux Dinner in Tanduri. With me included, it makes 9. That's not a lot of people, so I don't suppose we can get a discount. I will find out the telephone of the restaurant, set up a date, and let you know. If anybody else wants to attend it, please notify me now, so I can make the reservation for the appropriate number of people.

KDE 2 with Hebrew support
Hi All, Just wanted to update you - I'm still working with Lars to fix the hebrew problems on konqueror.. (I'm working on it every night) So far - I can estimate that 80-90% of the hebrew problems (both on Hebrew Visual and Logical) are behind us. There are some layering problems in ynet.co.il (Yedioth), and there are small glitches here and there.. You can see for example - a screenshot of Globes web site in Logical Hebrew: http://www.geocities.com/heunique/kde2/globes.png This week there will be KDE 2.0 RC1 out - I want to take this opportunity and ask people to download, install it and report bugs (you can submit bugs from the KDE itself - look at the HELP menu).. Final KDE 2.0 will be out on Oct. 16 At the beginning of November, the Israeli Linux developers (well, the one who wants to develop hebrew application EASILY without 1000 tweaks), will have a nice surprise.. stay tuned :) Hetz = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think it should either be IP or (in case this looks really bad) ai pi peh aleph (as in the Hebrew transcription of IBM) is really bad. One other thing about LDP: Has anybody tried Hebrew with sgmltools ? I figure creating (logical) Hebrew text/html is trivial. However - creating PS and PDF requires logical-visual translation. Another possible docs format is latex. Hacked up specs of the Hebrew RedHat: Do consider hacking Mandrake instead. One of Mandrake's strong points is good localization. Another is its optimizatin for home users. I don't know how much has RedHat cought-up in both fields. (please keep this from becoming a mandrake-redhat flamewar :) - BitchX with Hebrew compiled in What is this Hebrew support? How much of this can be achived simply by running it in an xterm with biditext, or in console with acon? - KDE 2, in the most sane version we can get at the moment where the Hebrew support works without any problems. From what I understand the "hebrew support" in KDE2 is support for logical hebrew in the browser, a translation of the user interface to (visual) Hebrew, and the use of unicode, which means much less font settings are required. Actually translating the user interface is not very hard. It can be done as well for gnome, windowmaker, ice, and any other desktop. It would still be visual Hebrew. But there is a reason why this should not be done. When bidi support in QT will hit the desktops, people using kde2 will complain that all of the menus show reveresed Hebrew. Back on topic... You would need unicode fonts. It is not legal to put the MS fonts on the CD. For those with windows on another partition - it is trivial to install those fonts from windows. For the others - you'll probably find some workaround. Actually the whole Hebrew support there is not such a big deal: If you installed Mandrake 7.1, chose "hebrew" as the language, and installed iso8 fonts during the installtion, you would automatically get a hebrew desktop: The choise of hebrew as language also set the locale to "he". This means that the default language of kde was hebrew. Mandrake also used a patch to qt 1.44 which added the ability to set the default fonts according to the locale. - gtkbidi - Make menu entries for gedit, gnp load with gtkbidi Last time I tried gedit 0.51 from andrake 6.1 was affected by gtkbidi, but gedit 0.55 from mandrake 7.0 was no afcted. - Make GnomeICU load with gtkbidi (possibly, pack the new GnomeICU development version which fixes serious instabilities) Involves changing: /etc/CORBA/servers/GnomeICU.gnorba and chaging there the "location_info" line to: location_info gtkbidi gnomeicu - Hebrew licq (haven't seen it) Anybody managed to get the qt-gui of licq to display hebrew? Ever since they moved to unicode something there screwed up, at least for me. Well, there is also the gtk gui, but it is not as machure as the qt gui. - Good ISO08 console fonts which include line drawing characters: /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts iso08.f08.psf.gz iso08.f14.psf.gz iso08.f16.psf.gz I already have a 16 one, and will dump the 8 and 14 ones hopefully. Once you do that - please send them to the maintainer of the "kbd" package (look in freshmeat). This will get them to all the distros. - Good working Hebrew console keymap. Check if the recent hebrew keymap in RH7 is not the correct one. Anyway - if it is incorrect - also send the correct one to the maintainer of kbd. I think I have one which was quite fine for me for using Hebrew BitchX from plain console, switching via the "Context-Menu" key on my Win95 keyboard. - Hebrew X-compliant keymaps and Windows-style (Alt-Shift) switching (optional, along with original options) Files to be updated/added: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree86 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/he /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/group /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc104 Some mre is required. You would want to add the hebrew layout in the list of layouts, for instance. See the iglu faq-hebrew-hebrew keyboard under X-xkb for some more (but still incomplete) information. BTW: Ilya - I was hoping that you could translate some of the xkb docs to hebrew or english ;) ^ that's not required, but we CAN update it so that the "Windows" keys would react as "Super-L" and "Super-R" keys (which are originally Sun keyboard keys AFAIK) instead of Meta-L and Meta-R.

I do not need any driver for regular modem, right ? Well, you have to send some init string to your terminal adaptor (that's how an 'external ISDN device' is called). It sets various line properties: sync/async, data rate, etc. If you have drivers for Windows, check the initialization string they use. Other than that - no kernel modules or anything like that is needed. Oh - and you use the standard ppp daemon not the synchronous pppd that internal ISDN adaptors need. Last advice: setting the correct parameters might be difficult and depends, of course, on the ISP configuration. Some POPs (=telephone numbers) may be configured differently. We had to connect to Bezeqint once and never could make it work with one of their numbers (640. Only 136363 worked.
